Colombo: Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena will travel to Britain and India next week to attend an anti-corruption summit and a religious event in the two countries respectively, foreign ministry officials said today.
President Sirisena will leave for London on May 11 to attend the Anti-Corruption Summit hosted by British Prime Minister David Cameron on May 12, they said.
Cameron had invited Sirisena when the two leaders met at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting held in Malta last year.
The summit, a first of its kind, will bring together world leaders, business and civil society to agree a package of practical steps to expose corruption, punish the perpetrators and support those affected by corruption and drive out the culture of corruption wherever it exists.
The summit will seek to galvanise a global response to tackle corruption.
From Britain, the President will travel to India on May 13 on an invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend a religious meeting.
